On my way from last night's meeting of Bethlehem Tp's Board of Commissioners, I drove by Green Pond Marsh. There were about 50 of the stately white birds you see above. Are they herons, cranes or egrets?
This marsh is being preserved when Traditions of America starts its 55-plus active senior community.
Green Pond was originally called Dryland Pond, according to Fiscal Affairs Director Steve Barron. He claims it was actually considered scrap land, and William Penn gave it away.
"How the hell do you know this?" I asked.
"It's in a book," he answered.
So there you go.

"S" shaped neck. I'd say heron.

They're great egrets.
There's a big orange one in Washington. Not stately at all. It's called the Great Regret.

And just as with the bird that lost the tip of its wing, that's a difference of a pinion.
That's a great egret.
This is why we have two parties
D-R. A bird with only one wing flies in circles.
